sorry for quoting myself and so fast, but this is just flash news that should close at least one concrete open issue with Chrome: 15:19 <_ale> jaromil: google-chrome --incognito that's it, works from our own OS menu then. so far, left open issues are: - code audition (grepping for network operations and such) - hard! (( should we simply trust some inquiries with trusted contacts? )) - a summary of licensing concerns, if any are left. so far, to confirm A.J.'s, collaborative approach, the EULA debacle had happy ending http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/update-to-google-chromes-terms-of.html so i'm confident we can straighten up anything together, let's just clear it up then. and at the end let's just hope the chrome logo won't be a problem :^) ciao > > That being said, I agree that private mode should not be a > > "select" option, it should be a default which those users who so > > desire can opt out of.
